Slow cooker recommendations

And next (no picture) a chicken pressure cooked in 25 minutes. Well, 10 minutes to get to pressure, 25 minutes cook, 20 minutes natural depressurisation.

Layered, onion, carrot, and celery on the base of the bowl, chicken breast side down, 250ml stock cube stock, lemon juice, salt and pepper and some mixed herbs.

Chicken very nice but not carvable (pretty much fell apart on extraction). Left over liquid and veg has been whizzed up into a very nice soup.

Very happy with purchase so far.

What Kind of Slow Cooker Do You Have (and Would You Buy It Again)?

MrSossidge

Will be slow cooking a sausage casserole that wife found on internet.

Have browned my sausage (it sounded wrong as I typed it but not as wrong as stilton pie). Will chuck the rest of the stuff in the cooker and do low for 8 hours.

Does the instant pot go to stay warm after cooking? So if i set it going at 7.45am will it still be warming at 5.00pm the same day or should I set timer so it starts at 9.00am?

Yes

Superb. Here's hoping tomorrow night's tea is a success.

It's a steak and Stilton pie! In one pie. Not just cheese and pastry!

I think you may have missed the innuendo.

Bought a sizeable beef tongue on Saturday, cooked it on Sunday (went into the NutriCook as the InstantPot was already busy...) Full of flavour, tender and fatty (yum!) although you need some patience to clean it up after it's cooked, and you can't be squeamish.

Quartered onion, four knife-crushed garlic cloves, couple of bay leaves, peppercorns, cayenne pepper for a little kick, leeks and celery sticks; cook for an hour under pressure and it'll almost fall apart.

The parts that were clean and easy to cut are waiting for some way of being eaten, the others have been chopped up and cooked with some bbq sauce, and will be used as a sandwich filler (with cheese and maybe coleslaw) for lunch today. Hooray for cheap cuts!

These are wonderful cookers.
I'm not exactly sure which type this one is . I bought one that had factory recalls The XL 9000 I think it was.. It seems people were getting burned when frying food in them. I could have gotten a refund only I had already thrown it out. I would be careful if you use it to fry food!!!

Here's a quick meal for the working couple. Beef stew. The slow cooker sauce takes any guesswork out of what to add to it. I like a good beef stew every now and then.
